We offer advanced laser tattoo removal services using the latest technology for safe, effective, and precise results. Whether you’re looking to fade a small design or fully remove a large tattoo, our lasers are tailored to your skin type and tattoo’s unique colours and characteristics, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal results.
Why Choose Our Laser Tattoo Removal Services?
We use the Hollywood Spectra laser tattoo removal system, featuring a Q-switched Nd YAG laser with wavelengths of 1064nm and 532nm. This advanced technology is considered the gold standard for tattoo removal due to its effectiveness and safety.
The 1064nm wavelength is particularly effective for removing dark-colored inks, while the 532nm wavelength is better suited for lighter-colored inks. This means we can treat all ink colors, helping you fade or completely remove your unwanted tattoo.
How It Works?
The Hollywood Spectra Laser Tattoo Removal system utilizes a Q-switched Nd
laser to effectively remove unwanted ink.
This advanced laser emits short pulses of light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the tattoo pigments. The absorbed energy causes the ink particles to heat up and break apart into tiny fragments. These smaller ink particles are then naturally eliminated by the body's immune system through the lymphatic pathways. This process allows for the targeted removal of tattoo ink while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.
Our professional technicians guide you through each step of your tattoo removal with laser treatment, ensuring you achieve the results you desire.

FAQs about Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies based on factors like the tattoo's size, color, age, and your skin type. On average, clients may require between 6 to 10 sessions for significant fading or complete removal.
Is the laser removal process painful?
Most clients experience only mild discomfort during the treatment. The sensation is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Our technicians use cold air to help alleviate any discomfort.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and slight blistering. These effects usually fade within a few days. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimize any risks.
Can all tattoos be completely removed with laser?
While many tattoos can be significantly faded or completely removed, the outcome depends on factors like ink composition and the tattoo's age. During your consultation, we'll provide a realistic expectation based on your specific tattoo.
What does laser tattoo removal look like after the procedure?
Right after a laser tattoo removal session, your skin might show a temporary chalky or "frosting" appearance, which fades within 30 minutes. You may also experience redness, swelling, minor blistering, itching, or raised areas—these are normal signs of healing and usually subside within two weeks. It's important not to scratch or pick at the treated area to avoid prolonging the healing process or causing scarring. Protecting the area from sun exposure by covering it and using SPF 50 sunscreen helps prevent skin discoloration.
How soon after getting a tattoo can I start laser removal treatments?
You should wait until your tattoo is fully healed before starting laser removal. This healing period usually takes about 8 to 16 weeks.
Are there any colors that cannot be removed with laser?
All ink colors can be targeted and removed with our laser tattoo removal treatments. Lighter inks may need more sessions to fade compared to dark tattoo colors. We are the only Medi spa in the Fredericton region to be able to remove all colours.
Can laser be used for eyebrow tattoo removal?
Yes, laser is a safe method for eyebrow tattoos removal when performed by experienced professionals. It precisely targets and breaks down the tattoo pigments, minimizing risks like scarring and skin discoloration.
Can I get laser tattoo removal if I am pregnant?
No, it's not recommended to have laser tattoo removal while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The effects of the treatment on unborn babies or nursing infants aren't well-understood, so it's safest to wait until after this period to begin your sessions.
Can I tattoo over an area that has undergone laser tattoo removal?
Yes, you can tattoo over an area that has been treated with laser tattoo removal once it has fully healed. It's recommended to wait at least six weeks after your last laser treatment before booking a new tattoo appointment to ensure the skin is ready.
